Disturbing and Troubling News at Home

I learned last night and again today, my little, young innocent first born child, named Joshua, has now been asked on 2, that's right 2 dates. Aaaahhh, he takes after his daddy, a studly man! But, seriously folks, I was not thinking about addressing this stuff for maybe 10-15 years.

Yikes!!! Any unsolicited advice would be welcome, of course, we'll do what we want, but just not sure what we'll do.

The only advice I told Joshua tonight was "never, never, put a girl down, and you don't talk about a girl to the other boys." Hopefully some of that connected, but I'm not ready for this.

Joshua did tell both girls "no", and one of them wants to talk to Joshua at recess tomorrow (gulp). More on the social life of my child later.

Oh dear. This is much too early. My daughter is in first grade and has already gotten phone calls from a boy. And he gave her a mood ring. I'm not ready for this. On the one hand, I can see why anyone would adore her. She's beautiful in spirit, personality, and visage. But on the other hand, SHE'S MY LITTLE GIRL! Back off little boys!

I know it's not really the Baptist way, but I'm thinking about sending her to a convent.

I like the advice you gave your son. Very thoughtful. Two more bits of advice for boys who don't want to go out with a certain girl: Don't ever laugh when a girl asks you out or says she likes you. And don't just pretend she never asked either.

About Me

I love to hang out with my boys and play sports, wrestle and play PS2 with them, and to have them hug me and say "I love you." I love to hang out with my wife, she is absolutely beautiful, (inside and out), the nicest and kindest person I know. Actually that's not about me, that's what helps me to live my life. Finally, without Jesus I'd be lost, there are too many scriptures to quote. But for me it is life transformation (2 Cor. 5:17) and living the super abundant life Jesus gives us (John 10:10b). Be a Jesus Freak!
